INTENSITY CORRELATION BETWEEN OBSERVATIONS AT DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS FOR Mkn
نویسنده
چکیده
The CAT imaging telescope on the site of the former solar plant Thémis in southern France observed γ-rays from the BL Lac object Mkn501 above 250 GeV for more than 60 usable hours on-source from March to October 1997. This source was in a state of high activity during all this period. By studying the correlation between the photons of different energies detected by the CAT imaging telescope and by the ASM/RXTE experiment (1.3-12.0 keV) on board the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer, we may constrain the mechanisms which could lead to the emission of these photons.

We use the new results of the HEGRA detector on the TeV γ–ray emission from MKN 501 to set upper limits on the energy density of the cosmic infrared background (CIRB). Contrary to previous interpretations of the γ–ray spectrum of MKN 421 as showing an intergalactic absorption cutoff at 5 TeV, the observed spectrum of MKN 501 extends beyond 10 TeV and appears to be unattenuated by γγ collisions ...
متن کاملOn the classification of flaring states of blazars
Aims. The time evolution of the electromagnetic emission from blazars, in particular high frequency peaked sources (HBLs), displays irregular activity not yet understood. In this work we report a methodology capable of characterizing the time behavior of these variable objects. Methods. The Maximum Likelihood Blocks (MLBs) is a model-independent estimator which sub-divides the light curve into ...
متن کاملIncreasing the Accuracy of Blood Hematocrit Measurement by Triplicate Wavelength Photoplethysmography Method
Background and objectives: The importance of continuous monitoring and rapid and accurate informing of changes in blood components (e.g., percentage of hematocrit [HCT]), especially in acute conditions, has motivated researchers to use non-invasive measurement methods. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between blood HCT and photoplethysmographic signal and the possibility ...

We present here two epochs of Space VLBI Observations at 18 cm of the BL-Lac type object Mkn 501. Thanks to the high resolution of these new data we have found that the inner jet is centrally brightened at its beginning but becomes extended and limb brightened at ∼ 8 mas from the core. Moreover a comparison between the two epochs shows the presence of a possible proper motion with apparent velo...
متن کاملObserving Mkn 421 with XMM – Newton : the EPIC – PN point of view
We present three observations (four exposures) of Mkn 421 performed by XMM–Newton in the Autumn of 2002, concentrating on the EPIC–PN camera data. The X–ray spectra were soft and steepening toward high energies. The source was highly variable and the hardness ratio plots displayed a clear harder–when–stronger correlation. During two complete flares the source showed strong spectral evolution: a...
